Datapoint - Citi system shows all WEs for me, yet new World Elite card not mailed yet...and thus not activated.
Applied today using link 14 (link 13 did not work - 404--oops notice on citi.com) and instantly approved for new World card #4.
So it looks like you can start cycle again without receiving physical new WE card since it can take some time for Citi to actually mail it after converting you (weeks).
I did something similar,took a chance and recently applied for #3(using 60K mailer for another family member). Instantly approved with a large CL. Card #2 was converted sometime last week without any notification. I some larger spending upcoming and want to get the 3K spent quickly.
I am hoping that I didn't jump the gun,but should know shortly when the letter arrives confirming the bonus.
